While it doesn't have as many features as some of the other portable reorders in the market, the H1 is easy to use and has pretty good microphones.

This item performed okay, and the internal microphones weren't too bad

I've always had problems with recording live vocals or guitar on my computer using garage band with really all the microphones I've ever used, but this microphone is sooooo clean

It also works with an Olympus lavalier microphone that I have; both microphones require

compact and small and works as a great microphone.

The audio quality far exceeds the professional microphone I have been using

The microphones are super sensitive, and can pick up the smallest sounds

Lots of versatility in the recording options, and AMAZING dual microphones for just a compact recording device

However, for best recording, Zoom recommends aiming the microphones directly towards the subject

This is a great versatile microphone for filming and even recording a class!

Amazing Field recorder and personal microphone

I just tested out the microphone and it works great

It works well as a podcasting microphone, an interview microphone, and a voice-recorder in the field that is easily connected to a computer in which you can transfer the files as mp3's or .wav files

Not to say my computer can't see it - it works as a usb microphone, but the drive won't pop up as a memory card.

(I even purchased a second microphone that is supposed to work with it and it also didn't work.

It surpasses most pre-amps in cameras, and excels past most other USB microphones

The microphones have a dynamic range limit also

The microphones are extremely sensitive to gusts of air.

I love this microphone for recording vows at weddings

The microphones are incredibly sensitive, but the auto-level feature works surprisingly well

Its lightness belies a robust ability to provide an excellent reproduction for which the cleverly arranged microphones gave a stereophonic response.

Love this microphone

It also acts a simple voice recorder and a decent microphone that connects to a tripod

Since you can lock all the buttons and switches with the Zoom H1, it makes a great portable, handheld microphone and recorder.

Excellent microphones, settings, and battery life at a reasonable price

Pros:- Microphones are clear with a wide field and well-separated between L/R- Easy to set up - not too many things to

but if you're going to do that put a wind filter on this as it picks up the pops and p's a little too well
